Mary Priscilla Roachford
« on: Thursday 07 January 21 22:51 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I'm looking for information on Mary who emigrated from England in 1922. She travelled with her husband Arthur and they settled in Pennsylvania. He died in 1930 due to a car crash.
I would like to find out whether she remarried,  and who she married please?

Many thanks for your time
Steve

There is an obit for Mary in a Utica newspaper - http://www.rootschat.com/links/01qd2/
Similar, but slightly different info from the obit above.
